my sentiments exactly deb!! I heard I wasnt going to like this book as much as the others but they were dead wrong...I love it...*sighs* however, last night, when I got to the part where Edward left Bella I had to put the book down for awhile and do something else to deter my thoughts elsewhere...I was crying so hard because that hit a little too close to home for me...its funny...no matter that Im almost 43 and it happened when I was a teenager but I realized that we never actually "get over" the pain and suffering we went through with our first love...my friend said it best... you dont get over it you just forget...and that saying "time heals all wounds" is true to a point because in time we allow ourselves to forget about it but becoming face to face with it brough back some old pain and that sucked

but after a while I went back to it and now Im back to being sucked in...Im serious...you cant do anything when your reading these..no housework, eating, nothing...I wonder if Stephenie Meyer realizes that her books do that to us

...there needs to be a warning on the front cover
